I don't see a person's desire not to hold another investigation into 9/11 as a character flaw… No matter how many times they investigate it it's never going to satisfy all the people who shout loudest, and the 9/11 Truth movement is just going to keep harping on about how it was an inside job… so I can't really blame anyone if they're just tired of constantly hearing about cries to reinvestigate it.


Ive just read an article, which if I understand it correctly, says Hillary Clinton's name is on a list of candidates seeking the Democratic Party's Presidential nomination. Isn't it sort of impossible for her to get elected now seeing as she withdrew from the race? Or am I getting it all skewed?

Truth be told kingpin the way the democrats ran the primaries it has been very confusing and some people believe that barack Obama won because of the electorial points and that hillary actually had the most actual votes.

It's a formality. Obama has enough pledged delegates to win and Clinton has stated she will be asking her supporters to cast votes for Obama rather than her.

It's not really nessecary, but it boosts her ego so they are doing it. Now granted things could, and let me emphasize, could happen that would leave some doubt as to who the nominee would be - but that would just damage the party and all involved at this point as well as single handily electing McCain at their own convention.

Sigh. (*egon)

It's times like this I like the more straightforward election system for the Prime Minister.

Now all he needs to do is grow some balls, call an election and accept the fact he's universally despised and will almost surely get kicked out of 10 Downing Street… Gordon Brown is like the second coming of Oliver Cromwell.

Clone Thatcher, or just bring her back. Gordon “I'm going to call an election then call it of” Brown just makes you boys look bad

That he does. Take the recent Georgian conflict with Russa, we all knew where Bush and Sarkozy were: spearheading talks and/or projects to resolve the crisis and help the Georgians.

Where was Gordon Brown? On holiday.





Bah!

I thought the point of being a politician was to be on vaca all the time.

No its just a side affect of their other job of wasting money.

As far as McCain's “100 years” comment…you are aware we still have troops in bases all over the world? We have 37,000 of them in South Korea right now. The Korean War was 50 years ago.

Honestly, I just want people to vote. I am really sick and tired of the voter apathy. Not just in Presidential elections, but in all of them. I get the whole “you have a right NOT to vote”, but when American Idol is receiving more votes, we have a problem.

And I think the comments about the real problem being Congress are 100% true. Especially, Miss Speaker of the House, who took a 5 week book tour because she didn't want to have a discussion. How mature!

That being said, I'm right in the middle. But I am happy with both picks, I've wanted McCain to run since the 2000 elections when Bush stole the nomination from him via phone “surveys” slandering him in SC.
